Hello again - Quite New to e30 Zone only made a few posts but ive been busy trying to get my new 325 se through its ticket! Thought Id post a few before & afters so far..

As i bought it:

Just put some new wheels on I got offered for a decent price and Im really happy with them. Front shocker needed replacing was leaking, Brake pads, track rod end,

Its got a cracked fog in the front thats full of water and the headlights were wobbly and pointing all over the place, so we managed to source a full set from a local scrappers for cheapish so we decided it was best to replace them all for a better nic set. Along with a few little bits (glovebox lock, cigarette lighter,bonnet strut,) Next up the badboy tints are going to get taken out as I think the interior should be displayed as its in fair condition.

Still after a gear knob! the one I have is original but it keeps coming off in my hand and doing my head in! Quite fancy a nice mtec 1 wheel and intend to replace the cheesy blue air filter it came with to a box with panel filter! If anyone can help with this please give me a shout that would be great!


Playing with the idea for coilys in the future but for now once its through the MOT im just going to enjoy it for a bit before anything drastic.

Hope you all like it :)

Also if anyone wants the old wheels Il sort em out nice and cheap - was gona put them on ebay but thought id give a heads up here first.

Well It failed the MOT..... 3 small bits of welding needed, exhaust bracket missing,bottom ball joint, two anti roll bar bushes, rear strut top mount, a steering rack boot, brake pipe, and headlights needed repointing!

Hopefully we can get it ready for a retest by Friday :S
